Daily Sencha - While this green tea would be a very good tea for beginners, even seasoned green tea fans appreciate this sencha. One of the few second harvest green teas we sell, we carry it because it is an above average quality sencha and offers a very good quality-to-price ratio. This green tea is far and away better than what you will find at most grocery or health food stores and is freshly packaged in Japan within a very short time of when you purchase it. This item is a blend of green tea leaf from Japan's Southern Kyushu tea growing region. Be sure not to brew with too much heat or for too long or it can be overly bold.

I was introduced to green tea by a Japanese friend who grew up in Shizuoka. There is no better way to start and go through the day than with cups of good hot green tea. Untill lately I was supplied by friends with wonderful green teas, but that has not been able to fulfill my demand. The teas in the local Asian stores were not that good, so I looked online and found O Cha.com. The Daily Sencha was a good buy. I liked it enough to subscribe to it; yet I would like to try a few others just to see what else is available.

I will surely be a return customoer.

Advantages: It is convenient to purchase online and pick up at the post office.

Disadvantages: I would like to buy it in larger packages at a lower price.

Dear O-Cha,
I am dropping a few line to let you know my thoughts about you. First, let me say, I'm pretty sure your site has it in for me. 75 percent of the time I forget my password but I'm sure the other 25 percent is not my fault. But I've been buying your tea for several years and don't plan on stopping. The first time I had green tea, my visiting Japanese college shared a gift his mother had sent to him. It was gyokuro and I'm afraid it's beauty was lost on me. I have since developed a true enjoyment of green tea but can only afford the daily sencha as a "go to" for everyday. I have tried several other tea companies here in the states to save money, but I always come back. You have no equal. I have noticed over the years that the flavor may depend on the weather and some years are better than others, but I have only one source I depend on and that's you. Your service is good (I always get helpful advice) but your great product keeps me coming back. I thought about giving you 4 stars due to my computer inadequacy but your tea deserved all 5 stars. thanks, pat volk in beautiful Kentucky.

Although we are shipping orders within our normal 24 hours of receiving them time frame (actually, it's usually 8 hours or less), we are finding the actual *delivery* of parcels to be exceptionally delayed at this time, especially the Northeastern United States. This includes EMS parcels, which are currently failing to even show tracking once they leave Japan.

Because of the effects of winter storms along the U.S., there may be delays in delivery of mail in the regions listed below. Furthermore, there may also be considerable delays in the arrival of mail sent from this region to Japan.

Testimonials

I have been ordering and receiving quality green teas from o-cha for several years now.

It is easy to say that I always get exactly what I order, am never pressured to buy beyond what I am ordering and enjoy their excellent teas every time.

What a pleasure!

I've had many different types of tea from O-cha, and they were all stellar! I also ordered a tokoname kyuusu which work exceptionally well for brewing Japanese green tea. if you're looking for quality green tea, look no further! o-cha has some of the best teas I've ever tried, much better than anything you could find in the supermarket or Asian markets. I would definitely recommend all o-cha's teas, especially my personal favorite the Yutaka Midori!
